The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) recently issued its latest survey report, State of Financial Services in Cloud. The survey found that while the use of cloud services is increasing, the pace of adoption is dependent on the speed at which cloud service providers (CSP) and financial services can meet security and operational expectations as well as demonstrate adherence to regulations.
The findings of this report will be used by CSA’s soon-to-be-launched Financial Services Leadership Council. Composed of financial service representatives, CSPs, and other relevant organizations, this committee will identify priorities pertaining to research, education, analyst briefings, assurance frameworks and programs and use them to guide future research, standards requirements, training and education.
